Indiana University

About

Fulfilling the promise for nearly 200 years

Indiana University is one of the world’s foremost public institutions—and the epitome of the modern university.

We expand the frontiers of knowledge and creativity. We improve people’s lives in our state and around the world. And we help students of all kinds reach their potential and prepare for a lifetime of success.

We are IU

Education and research without boundaries

IU is home to world-class business and music schools. The world’s first school of philanthropy. The nation’s first school of informatics and largest medical school. And countless other academic programs that are among the world’s best, including programs in the arts and sciences, education, engineering, law, international studies, journalism, nursing, public health, and public affairs.

We’re always looking toward the horizon, thinking about what’s next. We’re exploring ideas that lead to powerful insights. We’re working across disciplines to confront grand challenges and create life-changing solutions. And we’re teaching our students to do the same.

Campuses for everyone

With campuses around the state and leading online education programs, we have a home for every student. You’ll join a community of people who have diverse backgrounds and are from many places, and you’ll leave IU with a new perspective on the world and with friendships that never fade.

Celebrating our bicentennial and charting our future

We have big plans for our 200th birthday celebration in 2020—and even bigger plans for our next 100 years. The Bicentennial Strategic Plan for Indiana University is a bold vision for strengthening IU’s standing as one of the world’s great public universities.
